SPEAKER...

Chenoweth has a well-established reputation as a dynamic speaker, and a down-to-earth style that never fails to engage and motivate audiences. He incorporates personal anecdotes, and has the natural ability to make complicated subjects easily understandable and relevant to the interests of each individual audience. (View Dan’s presentation on “Business Ethics”) (See Speaker Testimonials.) “Most asked for” topics include:

Making Ethics Count

Post-Enron, everyone would agree that corporate ethics play a significant role in an organization’s success. But how do ethics influence an organization’s culture and bottom line results? What is everyone’s ethical responsibility in an organization? What are the attributes of effective and ethical leaders? How do they integrate values with profits? This presentation answers these and many other questions.

Customer Service: The Ultimate Competitive Advantage

Customer service can mean the difference between success and failure. As more products and services become commodities, the way they are delivered is as important as what is delivered.. The key to success is maintaining the perceptions you want your customers to have. This presentation shows you how.

Strategic Positioning: Finding and Defending Your Marketplace Niche

Most business owners have a fairly clear idea of why they started their own business and why it's better than the competition. However, few clearly articulate or communicate their strategic niche, nor do they revisit that niche down the road to determine if it still makes sense in an ever-changing environment. This presentation helps you identify your strategic niche and determine if it's still relevant.

Ethical Leadership for Bottom Line Results

This presentation is designed to help leaders understand the importance of ethics and ethical values as key attributes in organizational leadership. It shows them how to evaluate the ethics in their own organizations and implement practices to further build ethical values in their businesses.

How the CFO/Controller Can Lead Strategic Planning

Given their innate organizational and analytic strengths, CFOs and Controllers can take the lead in implementing the strategic initiatives that will make their organizations successful. This presentation focuses on the changing role of CFOs / Controllers and provides planning tools necessary to meet the new challenges, including:

  • The four steps a CFO/Controller should take to be a more valued partner in the entire strategic planning process.
  • The five phases of the leadership model of project management.
  • How to effectively lead change.
Resilience Required: Change Management Skills for Individuals and Organizations
The volume, momentum and complexity of change today have no precedent in human history. How can individuals learn to reduce their personal stress levels, survive and succeed in a post 9/11, Enron-scandalized world? Regardless of education, training, previous success or status, some individuals faced with a crisis, immediately size up the situation and proactively move toward a solution while others are immobilized by fear. The key differentiating factor appears to be something called "resilience." In this presentation we will discuss certain behaviors of resilient people that can be learned: the three mega-characteristics of resilient people and five specific characteristics. You will have the opportunity to see how you stack up against the "Resilience Continuum," a self-assessment instrument that provides the foundation to develop a personal action plan to enhance your own resilience, and to become more successful in a world of chaos.

"The Empire Strikes Back": Project Management and Change Management
When given a major task, assignment or project in an organizational setting, most people are good at the "left brained" project management side: establishing a project budget, determining resource requirements, developing the project time line, and so forth. But what many people fail to understand is that success - i.e., producing long-term, sustainable results - requires managing the intangible or "right brained" side of the project as well. Sustainability means convincing people that the new way of doing things really does make sense and will be worthwhile for both the organization's success and for them personally. This presentation provides an eight-step process on how to affect major organizational change and accomplish sustainable results.
